Pungpa Ri ABC 5700m

Pungpa Ri climb

We left ABC at about 7pm, arrived at base of climb just before dark. After making some hot water, dinner, and short rest, we set off on the slope shortly after mid night. The snow was loose and took a lot of effort to break the trail. Since this is only a training peak for acclimatization, our goal was only to get as high as we can that would allow us to get down before sun comes up to heat up the slope.

After maybe about 4 or 5 hours, we stopped at around 6700m. We dug a tent platform in the steep snow. Four persons crawled into the 2 person BD First Light tent. Cold and hard to sleep, but we still managed to have some rest of about an hour by stacking one’s body part above another’s before we descended the hill.

9月16-17日

Pungpa Ri 攀登

9月16日晚上7点我们从ABC出发，在天黑前到达山脚下。休息了几个小时，烧水，煮饭，半夜时分我们开始上山了。雪很松，费了好大劲才开出一条路来。由于这只是我们为适应海拔的训练性攀登，我们的目标是能到多高算多高，重要的是要在太阳照在雪坡上之前下撤，以避免遇上雪崩。

大概爬了4、5个小时，我们在6700米左右停了下来。在陡坡上挖了一小块平地，我们四个人挤进了简单的双人帐，肢体互相架着、压着，虽然又冷又挤，很难入睡，但好歹也算休息了一个小时左右。趁着太阳还没升高，我们都安全地下撤回到了营地。
